PRECAUTIONARY STATEMENTS
Hazards To Humans & Domestic Animals
CAUTION
Harmful if absorbed through skin. Avoid contact with skin, eyes or
clothing. Prolonged or frequently repeated skin contact may cause
allergic reactions in some individuals.
Environmental Hazards
This pesticide is extremely toxic to fish and aquatic invertebrates.
Runoff from treated areas or deposition of spray droplets into a body
of water may be hazardous to fish and aquatic invertebrates. Do not
apply over bodies of water (lakes, rivers, permanent streams, natural
ponds, commercial fish ponds, swamps, marshes or estuaries), except
when necessary to target areas where adult mosquitoes are present,
and weather conditions will facilitate movement of applied material
away from the water in order to minimize incidental deposition into the
water body. Do not contaminate water when disposing of equipment
wash waters.
This pesticide is highly toxic to bees exposed to direct treatment on
blooming crops or weeds. Do not apply this product or allow drift when
bees are actively visiting the treatment area, except when applications
are made to prevent or control a threat to public and/or animal health
determined by a state, tribal or local health or vector control agency on
the basis of documented evidence of disease causing agents in vector
mosquitoes, or the occurrence of mosquito-borne disease in animal or
human populations, or if specifically approved by the state or tribe during a natural disaster recovery effort. Applications should be timed to
provide the maximum possible interval between treatment and the next
period of bee activity.
Physical or Chemical Hazards
Combustible. Do not use or store near heat or open flame.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
It is a violation of Federal Law to use this product in a manner
inconsistent with its labeling.
READ ENTIRE LABEL FOR DIRECTIONS
GENERAL
Do not exceed 25 applications at 0.007 pounds of permethrin per acre
(not to exceed a total of 0.18 pounds of permethrin per acre) in any
given season. More frequent applications may be made to prevent or
control a threat to public and/or animal health determined by a state,
tribal or local health or vector control agency on the basis of documented evidence of disease causing agents in vector mosquitoes or the
occurrence of mosquito-borne disease in animal or human populations. Application during the cooler hours of the night or early morning
is recommended.
PERMANONE RTU Insecticide is recommended for application as an
ultra low volume (U.L.V) nonthermal aerosol (cold fog) to control adult
stages of the listed insects in residential, recreational and other areas
where these insects are a problem. Best results are expected by application when weather conditions favor an inversion of temperatures in
the area treated. For best results, treat when mosquitoes are most
active and weather conditions are conducive to keeping the fog in the
air column close to the ground, e.g. cool temperatures and wind
speeds are equal to or greater than 1 mph.
Early morning and evening are the best times for application.
All types of applications should be conducted at temperatures above
50°F.
Do not allow spray treatment to drift on pastureland, cropland, poultry
ranges or potable water supplies. Do not use on crops for food, forage
or pasture.
In treatment of corrals, feed lots, swine lots and zoos, cover any
exposed drinking water, drinking fountains and animal feed before
application.
Before making the first application of the season, it is advisable to consult with the state or tribal agency with primary responsibility for pesticide regulation to determine if other regulatory requirements exist.
Spray Droplet Size Determination
Ground Equipment:
Spray equipment must be adjusted so that the volume median diameter is less than 30 microns (Dv 0.5 < 30 µm) and that 90% of the spray
is contained in droplets smaller than 50 microns (Dv 0.9 < 50µm).
Directions from the equipment manufacturer or vendor, pesticide registrant or a test facility using a laser-based measurement instrument
must be used to adjust equipment to produce acceptable droplet size
spectra. Application equipment must be tested at least annually to confirm that pressure at the nozzle and nozzle flow rate(s) are properly calibrated.
Aerial Equipment:
Spray equipment must be adjusted so that the volume median diameter produced is less than 60 microns (Dv 0.5 < 60 µm) and that 90%
of the spray is contained in droplets smaller than 115 microns (Dv 0.9
< 115 µm). The effects of flight speed and, for non-rotary nozzles, nozzle angle on the droplet size spectrum must be considered. Directions
from the equipment manufacturer or vendor, pesticide registrant or a
test facility using a wind tunnel and laser-based measurement instrument must be used to adjust equipment to produce acceptable droplet
size spectra. Application equipment must be tested at least annually to
confirm that pressure at the nozzle and nozzle flow rate(s) are properly calibrated.
GROUND APPLICATION
Vehicle-Mounted ULV Cold Aerosol Generators or Vehicle-Mounted
Non-Thermal Aerosol (Cold Fog): Apply through non-thermal ULV
application equipment and base acreage calculations on the equipment
manufacturer’s recommended swath width. Apply at a rate not to
exceed 0.007 pounds of permethrin per acre in a given 24 hour period.
An optimum swath is created when Permanone RTU is applied from a
truck that is being driven perpendicular to the wind direction. Direct the
spray head of equipment to ensure even distribution of the spray cloud
throughout the area. For best results, apply when insects are most
active and meteorological conditions are conducive to keeping the
spray cloud close to the ground. An inversion of air temperatures and
a light breeze is preferable. Apply when ground wind speed is equal to
or greater than 1 mph. Permanone RTU may be applied through ULV
Cold Aerosol Generators, or other equipment designed for non-thermal
ULV aerosol applications. The desired application rate may be obtained
under different conditions by altering the flow rate of Permanone RTU
from the application equipment and the vehicle speed. Examples are
given in the following Table.

-
Vary flow rate according to vegetation density and mosquito population. Use higher flow rate in heavy vegetation or when populations are
high. An accurate flow meter must be used to ensure the proper flow
rate. For proper application, mount the fog applicator so that the nozzle is at least 4 1/2 feet above ground level and directed out the back of
the vehicle. Failure to follow the above directions may result in reduced
effectiveness.
AERIAL APPLICATION
Permanone RTU may be applied at rates of 0.0035 to 0.007 pounds
permethrin per acre by fixed wing or rotary aircraft that are capable of
making a ULV application. Do not apply by fixed wing aircraft at a
height less than 100 feet, or by helicopter at a height less than 75 feet.
For best results, treat when insects are most active and meteorological
conditions are conducive to keeping the spray cloud in the air column
close to the ground. In order to compensate for windy conditions and
ensure drift onto the target area aerial application with aircraft equipped
with Global Positioning Systems (GPS) is recommended.
IN FLORIDA: Do not apply by aircraft unless approved by the Florida
Department of Agriculture & Consumer Services.
